Ten years later, another print miraculously surfaced, free of rot but very choppy. This edition is digitally reconstructed from both, almost frame by frame. Starring (and allegedly directed by) Ernest Servaès, the title of the film more-or-less tells you all you need to know.

Rogues' Tricks
Two thieves break into a swank flat only to rush for cover in a crowded armoire when the man of the house returns.
